Mayabeque, Cuba: The country’s strategy to substitute imports takes effect at La Española Meat-Processing industry, located in Nueva Paz.
In keeping with this effort, the center has succeeded in substituting imported flour so far this year, a marketing strategy that it implemented based on measures that make business management more flexible.
For this, contracts are reached with the productive forms of agriculture within the territory, which allows access to products such as chili, onion and ground garlic, preferably used in the production of croquettes and red sausages.
They also acquired, through collaboration with the Combinado Lacteo de La Habana, soybean paste, used in making sausages such as cooked ham, extended picadillo and novel mortadella.
The group of workers from the Mayabeque Meat-Processing industry also introduced whole wheat flour and corn in some productions, which lowers their costs.
Even with the resource limitations that the country presents, caused by the intensification of the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States, in the present calendar this center satisfies, to a large extent, the demands of the production plan in the food industry, while there are expectations that allow us to foresee increases both in local productions and in the substitution of imported products.
